As Lockwood celebrates our 90th year anniversary, we reflect on the incredible journey that has brought us to this significant milestone. For nearly a century, Lockwood has been dedicated to taking the worry out of protecting what is valuable to you, our customers. From Lockwood’s humble beginnings in America to its expansion into Australia, Lockwood's story is one of enduring success. We have strived to provide exceptional service and innovative solutions that have kept our customers safe and secure.

Driven by the vision of pioneers such as Henry Sanford Lockwood, Morris Falk, and John Stanley Ogden, Lockwood emerged as a leader of innovation in the hardware industry. Their collaborative efforts bridged and established Lockwood which is now the legacy it is today. As we look to the future, we are excited about the possibilities that lie ahead. While we celebrate our achievements of the past 90 years, we are mindful of the opportunities for growth and innovation that await us. With advancements in technology and a steadfast dedication to customer satisfaction, we are confident that the next chapter of our journey will be even more remarkable.

With gratitude for the past and enthusiasm for the future, we embark on the next 90 years with a shared determination to make a meaningful impact on both society and the environment.

As we reflect on Lockwood's 90-year journey, we honor the dedication of its founders, our customers, employees, and partners who have been instrumental in our success. Their unwavering commitment to excellence continues to inspire us as we look towards the future, guided by the same principles of innovation and passion that defined Lockwood's legacy. As we embark on the next phase of our journey, we continue to deliver exceptional service and making a positive impact in the lives of those we serve.

Throughout its history, Lockwood has navigated numerous changes, challenges, and transitions, each shaping the brand into what it is today. John Stanley Ogden, the founder of Ogden Industries, was instrumental in introducing the Lockwood brand to Australia. From its early days under Ogden Industries to its position today as the leader in the Australian lock industry, Lockwood has consistently demonstrated resilience and adaptability.

Today in 2024, as part of the ASSA ABLOY Group, Lockwood stands at the forefront of innovation, continuing to set industry standards and make a lasting impact on security solutions. We are excited about the future and remain deeply grateful to everyone who has contributed to our journey, ensuring that Lockwood's legacy of excellence endures. As we look ahead, we are committed to advancing our product offerings and strengthening our role in the industry, driven by the same spirit of innovation and quality that has defined us for decades.
